During the scheduled meeting, the attorney will listen to the student’s problem and offer legal advice. The attorney will represent the student in court if nec essary or refer the student to another source, such as a private attorney. Stall said a referral is needed when the case involves a large settlement. A student also may be advised to take a case to small claims court. Besides misdemeanor and traffic cases, the center handles landlord/ tenant, consumer, family law, em ployment and business problems. Landlord/tcnant cases made up the second largest percentage in March. Twenty-one cases were closed, and in one of those cases a student recovered $950 in a dispute with a landlord. Student Legal Services publishes a handbook giving basic legal infor mation to students. The handbook offers advice on how to handle auto accidents, student discipline, sexual harassment, and race and sex dis crimination. It also advises students on how to win in small claims court. Students always are not aware of where they stand in terms of the law, Stall said. They often don’t realize that legal action can be sought in many circumstances, she said. i— 800 take part in commencement From Staff Reports About 800 graduates received degrees during the University of Ncbraska-Lincoin Commence ment exercises Aug. 19aitheBob ^cvaney Sports Crater.
